The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 828 - High School Boys In Lingerie Give Their Principal A Lap Dance

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matwell Show, a school in Kentucky holds a man pageant, quote-unquote, where high

00:00:04.540 school boys in lingerie gave lap dances to their teachers, while a school in Florida brought

00:00:09.920 elementary schoolers to a gay bar for a field trip. And that was all this week. So what is

00:00:13.740 the issue with all of this? Is it an infringement on parental rights? Yeah, but that's not even half

00:00:18.480 of the problem. We'll talk about that today. Also, an uncharacteristically impressive performance

00:00:21.980 from Republicans as they interrogate Attorney General Garland during a Senate hearing, and a

00:00:26.180 woman is brutally assaulted on a train in New York while dozens of people stand by and watch.

00:00:30.620 This is becoming a theme. Plus, a professor at Rutgers claims that black and brown people

00:00:35.300 lived in peaceful harmony across the globe until white people ruined it all. And Anthony

00:00:40.500 Weiner's estranged wife says that she was sexually assaulted by a U.S. senator. The problem is

00:00:44.880 that her sexual assault story does not feature an actual sexual assault. We'll discuss all

00:00:49.080 of that and more today on The Matwell Show.

00:00:56.180 A Washington Post article published late last week tries its best to articulate and defend

00:01:04.740 the anti-position in the parental rights debate. Authors Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire

00:01:10.360 argue that parents, in fact, do not have, quote, the right to shape their kids' school curriculum.

00:01:16.020 And they chalk up the current school board movement and the activism by parents to nothing more than a

00:01:21.260 misguided, quote, frenzy based on the, they say, false idea that radicals are out to curtail the

00:01:27.720 established rights that Americans have over the educational sphere. Well, that is, in fact, exactly

00:01:32.760 what is happening. But The Washington Post says otherwise. What they say is, quote, what's actually radical

00:01:37.880 here is the assertion of parental powers that have never previously existed. When do the interests of

00:01:43.280 parents and children diverge? Generally, it occurs when a parent's desire to inculcate a particular

00:01:48.000 worldview denies the child exposure to other ideas and values that an independent young person might

00:01:53.200 wish to embrace or at least entertain. The turn over all decisions to parents, to turn over all

00:01:58.780 decisions to parents then would risk inhibiting the ability of young people to think independently.

00:02:03.640 As the political scientist Robert Reich has argued, minimal autonomy requires, especially for its civic

00:02:08.980 importance, that a child be able to examine his or her own political values and beliefs and those of

00:02:14.580 others with a critical eye. If we value that end, the structure of schooling cannot simply replicate in

00:02:20.000 every particularity the values and beliefs of a child's home, unquote. Well, then whose values and

00:02:26.320 beliefs should they replicate? These kinds of defenses of the education system never seem to answer that

00:02:32.580 question directly. We're told that parents, by getting overly involved in their kids' education, may be

00:02:37.540 inhibiting their children's ability to think independently. But there is no environment on Earth, perhaps

00:02:43.220 outside of communist China or North Korea, more stifling to independent thought than the school

00:02:48.660 system. You know, there is an orthodoxy in the schools, a certain accepted mode of thought, and those

00:02:55.020 who fall outside of it face punishment from their teachers and even more ruthless penalties from their

00:03:01.400 peers. And in fact, the whole idea of independent thought among children is somewhat nonsensical. A child's

00:03:10.240 thoughts are going to be dependent on something, or at least based in something. They're going to be basing their

00:03:19.200 values, their priorities, their views of the world on some sort of framework that's provided to them by an

00:03:25.620 outside authority. A child dropped off on a desert island as a toddler and raised by seagulls might become a truly

00:03:33.020 independent thinker in that his thoughts are formed independent of any cultural context or preformed value

00:03:38.660 system. But kids within society will not be anywhere close to entirely independent in their thoughts or in

00:03:44.560 any other sense. Children are shaped, they are formed. And the question is simply, who can be best trusted

00:03:50.640 to do that? The left answers the school system. But they're too cowardly and dishonest to actually answer

00:03:58.020 the school system. I mean, that is their answer, but they won't say it out loud. So instead, they try

00:04:01.680 another one of their patented baits and switches where they tell you to bring your children to school so that

00:04:06.920 they can become free thinkers. And as soon as you drop your child off and head to work, they turn to your

00:04:12.140 child and say, okay, junior, here are all the things you're allowed to think. And here's a list of things

00:04:16.540 you aren't allowed to think. Yeah, that's the free independent thinking in the school system.

00:04:22.780 And that's why this is, again, a question of who can best be trusted to impart values.

00:04:28.760 And on that end, as you deliberate over that question, consider this news from a school district in

00:04:35.320 Kentucky. This just happened this week. WDRB in Kentucky has the story. Listen.

00:04:40.680 An event at Hazard High School causing outrage and now an investigation.

00:04:45.160 The school is celebrating homecoming week. Yesterday was costume day featuring a man pageant.

00:04:51.380 Multiple pictures were posted and taken down from the school's athletics page.

00:04:55.240 They appear to show students giving lap dances to faculty and staff. Some pictures show

00:05:01.480 female students dressed in Hooters costumes. Other pictures show students and staff paddling each

00:05:08.120 other. One person featured in the pictures is Principal Donald Happy Mobellini, who is also the

00:05:13.840 mayor of Hazard. Some parents say they are outraged. Others say they don't think any lines were crossed.

00:05:20.620 Everybody who has been to Hazard knows all of the teachers and what happens

00:05:25.000 during homecoming week.

00:05:27.040 Wearing the mask, of course, as expected.

00:05:30.620 So male students dressed in bikinis and lingerie gave lap dances to teachers.

00:05:36.600 And then teachers and students were paddling each other.

00:05:39.520 And this was all posted by the school itself on its Facebook page.

00:05:43.820 The degenerate lunatics running these schools are such degenerate lunatics that it doesn't occur to them

00:05:49.000 that people might have a problem with high school boys and lingerie giving lap dances to their principal.

00:05:53.700 That's how deeply they're invested in the delusion of their own moral authority.

00:05:58.520 It doesn't cross their mind that what they're doing is inappropriate, which is not an excuse, by the way.

00:06:04.820 Very far from it. My point simply is that these people are helpless perverts, corrupted beyond all human recognition.

00:06:10.420 Another example just from this week, a school district in Keller, Texas, has stocked its school libraries with a book called Gender Queer,

00:06:19.280 which features cartoon images of oral sex, discussions of masturbation, among other topics, both written about and illustrated.

00:06:26.800 Meanwhile, down in Broward County, Florida, school board member Sarah Leonardi proudly announces that she chaperoned an elementary school field trip to a gay bar.

00:06:36.220 Students from Wilton Manor Elementary School were taken to Rosie's Bar and Grill, a, quote, LGBTQ-friendly bar and grill decked out with rainbows everywhere

00:06:47.360 and featuring menu items like the Big Dripper Wrap, the Young Ranch Hand, the Banana Hammock, the Naked Sweaty Lovin' and Ivana Hooker.

00:06:57.700 Those are all menu items at this gay bar and grill where the kids were taken.

00:07:03.880 This is apparently an annual field trip.

00:07:06.360 And once again, the school officials responsible publicized it themselves.

00:07:11.080 They either aren't expecting the backlash or they couldn't care less if they get it.

00:07:15.700 One of the intended consequences of painting parents as domestic terrorists is that school officials will feel increasingly justified when they run afoul of parents.

00:07:24.400 I mean, if a bunch of domestic terrorists are upset, then you must be doing something right.

00:07:30.020 But there's another point to be made here, and it's an important point that I think is getting lost.

00:07:37.780 The issue in education is not just parental rights.

00:07:43.480 In fact, parental rights are a secondary concern because parental rights are not absolute.

00:07:48.900 We all agree and understand that parents can and sometimes should lose their rights.

00:07:54.940 If you abuse your child, if you mistreat them, you can lose your rights as a parent.

00:08:00.400 And we all agree in principle that that can and should happen.

00:08:04.560 So what matters first and foremost then is the basic liberty and human dignity of the child himself.

00:08:13.720 Parental rights are indeed under attack, and we should defend them.

00:08:16.740 But we make a mistake when we frame this entire issue as nothing but a parental rights issue.

00:08:22.660 So what's wrong with boys in lingerie giving a lap dance to their teachers?

00:08:27.340 Or children being exposed to pornography in the school library?

00:08:31.020 Or third graders being brought to a gay bar on a field trip?

00:08:34.960 Is the problem simply that the parents didn't approve?

00:08:39.000 What if the parents did approve?

00:08:40.480 I'm willing to bet that all of the parents of the children at the gay bar did indeed give their blessing.

00:08:46.860 In fact, in some of the pictures, you see a bunch of adults standing around.

00:08:50.780 I'm guessing a lot of parents in that crowd.

00:08:53.680 Some parents apparently were fine with the lingerie lap dance.

00:08:57.140 Some are okay even with their kids being exposed to pornography or worse.

00:09:00.900 So is that it then?

00:09:02.680 Is this just a matter of getting a democratic consensus among the parents?

00:09:06.060 And as long as they all agree to sexually abuse the kids, then it's fine?

00:09:10.320 No, because the principal concern here, again, is the freedom and dignity of the child.

00:09:17.360 This is about the children's rights first.

00:09:21.900 As we've seen, sadly, there are plenty of parents in our culture who will gladly infringe on their own children's freedom and dignity.

00:09:28.260 But we defend parental rights not because parents have the absolute authority to do whatever they want to their kids,

00:09:34.620 but because parents can be most trusted to care for and guard and protect their children.

00:09:40.440 Not absolutely trusted, but most trusted.

00:09:44.500 So our cultural default position should be to entrust children to their parents because that's the natural way of things.

00:09:52.000 If a parent proves themselves unworthy of that trust, say, by taking their kid to a drag queen story hour,

00:09:57.500 then they should have their parental rights revoked at that point.

00:10:01.180 But what we know for sure is that the school system cannot be trusted at all, at all,

00:10:08.140 to protect the dignity and freedom of children.

00:10:11.640 Because that is, again, what this is really about.

00:10:14.420 Those images you saw of the kids in lingerie, that is an assault on the dignity and true freedom of children.

00:10:25.260 And the school system is much more likely to be a direct and intentional threat to that dignity and freedom.

00:10:31.260 Which is why, as for the school system, I kind of like the solution inadvertently offered by the Washington Post article I mentioned at the top.

00:10:38.480 The piece ends with this. Here's the final paragraph.

00:10:40.460 It says,

00:11:10.460 They're conspiratorial fantasies to find a pile of rubble and a heap of ashes.

00:11:16.400 A pile of rubble and a heap of ashes.

00:11:19.900 Sounds good to me.

00:11:22.560 That's exactly what I want the school system to become.

00:11:27.500 Metaphorically.

00:11:28.620 It is a cursed and sickly and dilapidated thing.

00:11:33.300 So burn it to the ground and start over.

00:11:35.800 Now we check in with Policy Genius.

00:11:43.740 You know, shopping for life insurance before Policy Genius was one of those things that was difficult to do.

00:11:49.940 You would put it off.

00:11:50.900 And that's not a good idea to put it off because you put off getting life insurance until it's officially too late.

00:11:55.240 But Policy Genius has made it so much easier.

00:11:58.320 And it's very simple to compare quotes from over a dozen top insurers all in one place.

00:12:03.060 Why compare?

00:12:03.700 Well, because you could save 50% or more on life insurance by comparing quotes with Policy Genius.

00:12:08.160 The licensed experts at Policy Genius work for you, not the insurance company.

00:12:11.120 So you can trust them to help you navigate every step of the shopping and buying process.

00:12:15.660 That kind of service has earned Policy Genius thousands of five-star reviews across Trustpilot and Google.

00:12:21.200 And eligible applicants can get covered in as little as a week thanks to an award-winning policy option that swaps the standard medical exam requirement for a simple phone call.

00:12:29.960 So they make it easy to do.

00:12:31.860 They make it affordable as well.

00:12:34.200 And so there's no reason not to do it.

00:12:35.980 You've got to head to Policy Genius.

00:12:36.920 And in minutes, you can work out what kind of life insurance you need and you get the life insurance and then you have your loved ones protected for the future.

00:12:43.100 Head to PolicyGenius.com to get started right now.

00:12:45.880 Policy Genius.

00:12:46.380 When it comes to insurance, it's nice to get it right.

00:12:49.660 All right.

00:12:51.080 Had an enjoyable night last night.

00:12:53.360 We went to, as we continue, as I told you, with my kids, every holiday they celebrate seven or eight times.

00:12:59.840 And so we continue the week-long or two-week-long Halloween celebration.

00:13:03.900 We went to the Boo at the Zoo here in Nashville.

00:13:07.920 Big fan of the Nashville Zoo and zoos in general.

00:13:12.300 So, of course, I wanted to be a part of this.

00:13:14.000 I mean, I was a little beset when we went.

00:13:15.280 The animals, there was no animals to see.

00:13:18.420 But, you know, they still, they got candy and all the kids were dressed in costumes.

00:13:22.720 And for me, the headline and the takeaway for me is that when we were walking along and we come across this other kid about the same age as my youngest son,

00:13:34.600 who's almost five years old, this other kid looks to be about five.

00:13:38.540 And this kid is dressed as a gingerbread man.

00:13:42.920 And then we saw probably three or four other kids about the same age dressed as gingerbread men.

00:13:46.240 And my wife starts talking to the parents of the one kid dressed as a gingerbread man.

00:13:50.280 And the parents say, oh, yeah, you know, he's obsessed with the gingerbread man.

00:13:53.560 He wants to read stories every night about the gingerbread man.

00:13:56.340 And this was such a relief for me because our son is exactly the same way.

00:14:00.900 He's obsessed with the gingerbread man.

00:14:04.080 And every single day he wants to read stories about it.

00:14:06.520 And he was going to go as a gingerbread man for Halloween, but he changed his mind at the last minute like kids always do.

00:14:11.340 He wanted to be a werewolf instead.

00:14:12.760 Okay.

00:14:13.800 But it's one of those, I always thought it was kind of weird.

00:14:16.460 Like why gingerbread, a year long obsession with a gingerbread man?

00:14:20.780 Why is this the thing you're obsessed with?

00:14:23.520 But you have these reassuring moments as parents when there's this really weird thing about your kid.

00:14:29.180 And then you meet another parent, they tell you about their kid.

00:14:32.160 Oh, okay.

00:14:32.720 Well, this is so your kid's weird in the same way.

00:14:34.480 So it's okay.

00:14:35.500 My kid's not as much of a freak as I thought.

00:14:37.500 That's that's reassuring to find out.

00:14:41.000 Okay.

00:14:41.400 So we'll start with with this.

00:14:44.720 A.G. Garland was again before a Senate committee being questioned about a variety of things.

00:14:52.460 And there were a few really good moments from Republicans during this interrogation.

00:14:56.780 And it's not often that I can really give any props to elected Republicans on this show.

00:15:02.360 But when those opportunities arise, I will take advantage of them.

00:15:05.700 And in this case, some of the Republicans during this hearing were, I mean, I will even say masterful in their takedown of Garland.

00:15:15.320 So we'll start with this from Senator Hawley, who I think speaks for many of us in his treatment of Garland.

00:15:23.280 Listen.

00:15:23.400 Parents who go to school board meetings, Mr. Smith is a parent who went to a school board meeting.

00:15:29.040 I'll leave it at this, General Garland.

00:15:30.780 You have weaponized the FBI and the Department of Justice.

00:15:34.440 Your U.S. attorneys are now collecting and cataloging all the ways that they might prosecute parents like Mr. Smith

00:15:40.620 because they want to be involved in their children's education and they want to have a say in their elected officials.

00:15:46.840 It's wrong.

00:15:47.760 It is unprecedented, to my knowledge, in the history of this country.

00:15:51.060 And I call on you to resign.

00:15:52.760 Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

00:15:55.080 Yeah.

00:15:55.620 Resign in disgrace.

00:15:56.480 That's exactly what Garland should do.

00:15:57.980 And I thought Cruz's question of Garland was talking about why he should resign.

00:16:06.020 A lot of reasons.

00:16:07.960 As Hawley points out, weaponizing the Department of Justice against parents.

00:16:11.880 For the Department of Justice to be corrupt and weaponized, that in and of itself is certainly not unprecedented.

00:16:23.640 Obama did the same damn thing.

00:16:26.080 But to be weaponized in this way against parents in general at school board meetings, yes, that is unprecedented.

00:16:32.420 But that's not the only reason why Garland should resign.

00:16:35.760 There's also some real corruption and nepotism going on.

00:16:38.940 And Cruz's questioning of Garland was tremendous on this end.

00:16:42.940 Garland would probably consider it an act of terrorism, given how thoroughly he was dismantled and embarrassed by Ted Cruz.

00:16:49.240 Let's listen to a piece of that.

00:16:51.560 A big part of this letter is that they're upset about parents not wanting critical race theory taught.

00:16:57.220 Your son-in-law makes a very substantial sum of money from a company involved in the teaching of critical race theory.

00:17:08.480 Did you seek and receive a decision from an ethics advisor at the Department of Justice before you carried out an action that would have a predictable financial benefit to your son-in-law?

00:17:20.740 This memorandum is aimed at violence and threats.

00:17:23.480 I just asked a question.

00:17:24.600 Did you seek an ethics advisor?

00:17:25.180 It has no predictable effect.

00:17:26.520 Did you seek an ethics opinion?

00:17:27.900 It has no predictable effect.

00:17:28.820 Did you seek an ethics opinion?

00:17:30.380 Judge, you know how to ask questions and answer them.

00:17:32.400 Did you seek an ethics opinion?

00:17:33.640 You asked me whether I sought an ethics opinion about something that would have a predictable effect on something.

00:17:39.040 This has no predictable effect in the way that you're talking about.

00:17:42.000 So if critical race theory is taught in more schools, does your son-in-law make more money?

00:17:45.520 This memo has nothing.

00:17:46.280 If critical race theory is taught in more schools, does your son-in-law make more money?

00:17:49.840 Yes or no?

00:17:50.420 This memorandum has nothing to do with critical race theory or any other kind of curriculum.

00:17:55.660 Will you answer if you sought an ethics opinion?

00:17:57.120 I am answering the best I can.

00:17:58.860 Yes or no?

00:17:59.500 Did you seek an ethics opinion?

00:18:01.040 This memorandum has nothing.

00:18:02.460 Did you seek an ethics opinion?

00:18:04.180 This memorandum has nothing to do with critical race theory.

00:18:06.260 General, are you refusing to answer if you sought an ethics opinion?

00:18:09.040 I am telling you that there's no possible...

00:18:11.180 So you're saying no.

00:18:12.200 Just answer it directly.

00:18:13.620 You know how to answer a question directly.

00:18:15.400 Did you seek an ethics opinion?

00:18:18.280 I'm telling you that if I thought there was any reason to believe there was a conflict

00:18:23.040 of interest, I would do that.

00:18:25.600 He really looks like he's about to cry.

00:18:28.320 I wish he would just...

00:18:29.620 I wish he would have...

00:18:30.580 That was my only disappointment watching that interrogation go on is that I was hoping

00:18:35.400 Garland would break down in tears.

00:18:37.380 He seemed like he was on the verge of it.

00:18:39.000 And you could understand why in a way, because these are people who are never challenged by

00:18:48.160 anyone, especially not publicly like this in front of the entire country, but they just

00:18:53.700 live in their bubbles and they're never challenged.

00:18:57.080 And if they encounter something like this, a real line of questioning, they don't know

00:19:01.180 how to respond to it.

00:19:01.960 I would almost prefer if the tyrants running our country, if the tyrants in the ruling class

00:19:12.160 like Garland, I'd almost prefer it if they were, you know, intimidating and imposing figures.

00:19:18.060 It would be a little bit less embarrassing for the rest of us in that case.

00:19:22.480 Because then you would see them and say, okay, well, yeah, they're a tyrant.

00:19:24.820 What's what you would expect a tyrant to look like?

00:19:26.740 And I, but no, these, these, these frail, empty, pathetic little weaklings on the verge

00:19:34.080 of tears, because you ask them difficult questions.

00:19:36.360 Those are the tyrants and oppressors that we are, um, whose, whose thumbs we are living

00:19:41.580 under.

00:19:43.660 You watch that and you, you almost feel sorry for Garland because he's so pathetic.

00:19:48.120 And then you remember that he's a colossal piece of garbage and you don't feel so bad

00:19:51.900 for him anymore.

00:19:52.600 Speaking of colossal pieces of garbage, Senator Spartacus, um, Cory Booker,

00:19:56.560 wasn't having any of this whatsoever.

00:19:58.360 So he's, he swooped in to defend, um, Garland and he's incensed that, that anyone would suggest

00:20:05.560 that the DOJ's war on parents is anything less than noble and necessary.

00:20:10.780 And he tries to explain why here.

00:20:13.560 The Atubo 4th memo reads, in recent months, there's been a disturbing spike in harassment,

00:20:19.020 intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers,

00:20:23.000 and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation's public schools.

00:20:26.800 Is that true?

00:20:28.180 Yes, sir.

00:20:29.680 I mean, it is true.

00:20:31.100 It is true.

00:20:31.700 I'm, I have a list of, of very disturbing incidents.

00:20:35.580 In Texas, a parent physically assaulted a teacher.

00:20:39.520 August 18th, 2021.

00:20:41.140 In Pennsylvania, a person posted threats in social media, which required police to station

00:20:46.540 outside of a school district, law enforcement investigating the person.

00:20:50.360 I could keep going.

00:20:51.080 Ohio, a school board member was threatening a letter that began with, we are coming from

00:20:54.840 you.

00:20:55.420 Domestic terrorism in the United States, sir, has it been more from overseas radical terrorists

00:21:01.220 since 9-11 or more from homegrown terrorists, most of them being right-wing extremists?

00:21:07.540 Which has been greater since 9-11?

00:21:09.460 I want to be careful about that.

00:21:12.620 The threats that we face with respect to terrorism, and none of those descriptions have

00:21:18.860 to do with terrorism, but the threats that we face in the United States come both from

00:21:23.440 foreign terrorists.

00:21:24.400 A church in South Carolina, a synagogue in Pennsylvania, a school, Parkland, a school,

00:21:34.280 Newtown.

00:21:35.160 Has there been threats and violence against schools in the United States of America?

00:21:38.960 There have been, yes.

00:21:40.100 Coming from what types of groups?

00:21:42.500 Well, they come from domestic groups.

00:21:44.000 From domestic groups.

00:21:46.640 Parkland and Newtown?

00:21:48.380 What does that have to do with anything whatsoever?

00:21:51.480 Cory Booker, living up to the title that I gave him of a colossal piece of garbage, is tying

00:21:59.180 at parents who get angry at school board officials to the Sandy Hook massacre and the Parkland

00:22:08.480 shooting?

00:22:10.500 I shouldn't need to say, no relationship at all between those things.

00:22:16.440 What?

00:22:16.920 Are you suggesting that these school shooters were upset at their school boards over policies

00:22:23.660 they didn't approve of?

00:22:24.560 Now, Booker, he wants to, he said, oh, no, there have been, there's been a lot of violence

00:22:31.240 against school board meetings.

00:22:32.420 And then he starts listing them.

00:22:34.560 And what does he list?

00:22:35.440 He said, he lists three things.

00:22:37.220 Then he says, oh, I could go on.

00:22:39.120 Could you really?

00:22:40.500 Could you go on?

00:22:41.120 Because I don't think he could.

00:22:42.700 I think that's basically all you had.

00:22:45.440 He lists two examples of people using threatening language, allegedly, on Facebook or in a letter.

00:22:55.580 So no, no physical violence there.

00:22:58.500 And the one violent incident he talks about, the assault of a teacher, in case you're wondering

00:23:04.840 what happened there, this was back in August.

00:23:08.340 Allegedly, there was an argument between a parent and a teacher.

00:23:11.780 And during the argument, the parent pulled down the teacher's mask, face mask.

00:23:17.320 Shouldn't do that.

00:23:18.520 Okay, you're making physical contact with somebody else.

00:23:21.140 You shouldn't do it.

00:23:23.940 But that's your example?

00:23:26.760 Like, that's why the Department of Justice, the FBI needs to get involved?

00:23:30.500 Because a parent reached out and did this and pulled the mask down?

00:23:35.060 That's all you got?

00:23:36.180 That's the best you could do?

00:23:37.280 Oh, I hope the teacher recovered from that.

00:23:42.460 I wonder how long they were in the hospital after that.

00:23:46.500 Better check on them.

00:23:47.560 Maybe they're still in a coma after having their mask pulled down.

00:23:54.560 And he takes that and ties it to domestic terrorism.

00:23:58.560 What he's saying is that an angry parent acting inappropriately and pulling down a teacher's mask

00:24:07.260 is akin to domestic terrorism on the level with a school shooting where 19 people are murdered.

00:24:17.360 This is what we're getting from these people.

00:24:20.400 Senator Dick Durbin gave this a shot also,

00:24:24.600 trying to demonstrate to the public

00:24:27.120 why school boards really are under threat

00:24:30.480 and why the FBI needs to get involved.

00:24:33.180 And he says that he knows that the threats are very real

00:24:36.100 and that all of this is very real

00:24:37.160 because he saw it in a search engine.

00:24:39.720 Watch.

00:24:40.560 Those who think the insurrectionist mob of January 6th

00:24:43.560 was merely a group of tourists visiting the Capitol

00:24:45.720 ignore the pillaging,

00:24:47.860 the deaths,

00:24:49.340 and the serious injuries

00:24:50.440 to over 100 law enforcement officials.

00:24:53.140 And those who argue that school board meetings

00:24:55.240 across America

00:24:56.060 are not more dangerous and more violent

00:24:57.980 than in the past

00:24:58.860 are ignoring reality.

00:25:00.400 I went on it and just typed in this morning

00:25:03.140 school board violence

00:25:04.560 on one of the search engines.

00:25:08.020 Page after page is coming up.

00:25:10.620 So this is right in line with Garland,

00:25:14.280 who at the last hearing, if you recall,

00:25:16.160 said that,

00:25:16.660 well, how do I know

00:25:17.940 that school boards are being threatened

00:25:20.300 because they told me so in a letter

00:25:22.760 from the National School Board Association.

00:25:25.180 They claimed it

00:25:25.780 and also I read it in the headlines.

00:25:26.940 And Durbin is saying,

00:25:29.040 oh, I Googled it.

00:25:30.540 I Googled it this morning

00:25:32.060 and it came up with a bunch of search result answers.

00:25:35.640 So there you go.

00:25:39.100 I mean,

00:25:39.860 at least he's being honest

00:25:41.100 about the research that he did.

00:25:43.260 And when most people say

00:25:44.000 that they've researched an issue these days,

00:25:45.580 that's all they mean.

00:25:46.480 They mean that they plug something into Google

00:25:48.120 and they saw a bunch of hits come up

00:25:50.000 and they said,

00:25:50.520 well, there it is.

00:25:51.700 Even though, you know,

00:25:54.820 90% of the links

00:25:56.100 are just repeating the same story

00:25:57.780 over and over again.

00:26:01.220 But Dick Durbin, you know,

00:26:02.720 has been in the Senate for 150 years.

00:26:05.340 This maybe is the first time

00:26:06.240 that he's ever even used a search engine.

00:26:08.340 So maybe we can excuse him there.

00:26:11.760 But that's how pathetic.

00:26:13.600 Listen, if they had something,

00:26:15.200 if they had a real case here,

00:26:17.560 they'd make it by now.

00:26:18.700 If there were examples

00:26:21.720 of real dangerous violence,

00:26:26.480 especially multiple examples,

00:26:27.820 an epidemic of it happening

00:26:29.160 at school board meetings,

00:26:30.160 they'd tell us about it.

00:26:32.180 It's not like this is an ace up their sleeve

00:26:33.740 that they're saving for another time.

00:26:35.760 They don't have it.

00:26:39.440 All right, let's move on.

00:26:40.480 A Rutgers professor

00:26:41.420 was interviewed by

00:26:43.100 the race baiting website,

00:26:45.000 The Roots,

00:26:45.620 and she babbled on for several minutes

00:26:47.420 spewing blatant racism

00:26:48.660 but it's this part in particular

00:26:50.880 coming from a professor

00:26:52.540 that really caught my ear.

00:26:54.660 Listen.

00:26:55.640 I think that white people

00:26:56.880 are committed to being villains

00:26:58.320 in the aggregate, right?

00:26:59.780 The real sort of issue here,

00:27:01.380 and I've heard people sort of say it,

00:27:03.200 is one, I think that white people

00:27:05.400 viscerally fear.

00:27:06.680 It's not that white people

00:27:07.460 don't know, right,

00:27:08.900 what they have done.

00:27:10.060 They know.

00:27:11.160 They fear that there is

00:27:13.200 no other way to be human

00:27:14.780 but the way in which

00:27:15.740 they are human,

00:27:16.880 which is just,

00:27:17.540 so, you know,

00:27:18.040 like you talk to white people

00:27:18.960 and whenever you really want

00:27:20.500 to have a reckoning about it,

00:27:21.460 they say stuff like,

00:27:22.560 you know,

00:27:23.080 it's just human nature.

00:27:24.620 If y'all had all of this power,

00:27:26.340 you would have done

00:27:27.180 the same thing, right?

00:27:28.860 And it's like,

00:27:29.520 no, that's what white humans did.

00:27:31.760 White human beings

00:27:32.880 thought there's a world here

00:27:34.740 and we own it.

00:27:36.100 Prior to them,

00:27:37.540 black and brown people

00:27:38.480 have been sailing across oceans,

00:27:40.280 interacting with each other

00:27:41.460 for centuries

00:27:42.360 without total subjugation,

00:27:44.380 domination,

00:27:44.860 and colonialism.

00:27:48.340 So we're going to kind of

00:27:49.560 skip right over

00:27:50.320 the explicit racism

00:27:51.660 only because what else

00:27:54.300 is there to say about it

00:27:55.220 other than this is explicit racism

00:27:56.700 and et cetera and so forth.

00:28:01.460 Reverse the races,

00:28:02.820 white professor saying this

00:28:04.140 about black people,

00:28:05.840 they would be fired

00:28:07.000 within 30 seconds

00:28:08.020 and there would be marches

00:28:09.420 and rallies

00:28:09.900 and the president

00:28:10.780 would be talking about it

00:28:11.820 and so on and so forth.

00:28:12.980 So we know all of that.

00:28:14.540 Which isn't to minimize it,

00:28:15.900 but we know all that.

00:28:18.180 Or at least the audience

00:28:19.120 of this show knows it.

00:28:22.120 But then,

00:28:23.000 coming from a professor,

00:28:25.020 her vision of history,

00:28:27.920 where she says that

00:28:29.380 black and brown people,

00:28:30.520 they weren't subjugating

00:28:32.340 each other.

00:28:33.220 What?

00:28:33.660 Okay,

00:28:36.660 go pick up any

00:28:38.140 history textbook

00:28:39.300 or,

00:28:40.360 you know,

00:28:40.680 this is something you could even,

00:28:42.160 this one you could Google.

00:28:44.360 Look up a list of

00:28:45.540 empires throughout the world,

00:28:47.160 throughout history.

00:28:48.400 You're going to see things

00:28:49.320 like the Ottoman Empire,

00:28:50.440 the Aztec Empire,

00:28:51.240 the Mayan Empire,

00:28:51.940 the Inca Empire,

00:28:52.940 the Persian Empire,

00:28:54.520 the Egyptian Empire,

00:28:55.420 the Assyrian Empire,

00:28:56.480 et cetera,

00:28:56.900 et cetera,

00:28:57.180 et cetera.

00:29:00.100 These were not empires

00:29:01.680 built and run

00:29:03.140 by white Westerners

00:29:05.880 or Europeans

00:29:07.080 or white Americans,

00:29:09.580 okay,

00:29:11.120 but they're empires.

00:29:12.580 And how do you,

00:29:13.900 Professor,

00:29:14.500 what do you think

00:29:15.500 an empire is?

00:29:17.700 How do you think

00:29:18.460 an empire is established?

00:29:22.940 You know,

00:29:23.600 the Ottoman Empire,

00:29:24.680 when they were building

00:29:25.500 their empire

00:29:26.600 and it was expanding,

00:29:29.300 were they showing up

00:29:30.540 to other countries

00:29:31.860 and other regions

00:29:32.720 and kind of knocking

00:29:34.180 on people's door

00:29:34.960 very politely

00:29:35.600 and say,

00:29:35.940 would you mind?

00:29:37.200 Would you mind

00:29:37.860 if we conquered you?

00:29:39.660 Yeah,

00:29:40.040 we got this empire thing going

00:29:41.160 and we really want

00:29:42.140 to grow it

00:29:42.780 and so we would love

00:29:43.980 to conquer.

00:29:46.340 You've got some land here,

00:29:47.380 we would love to take it.

00:29:48.960 Would you mind?

00:29:51.380 And they said,

00:29:51.780 sure,

00:29:52.040 yeah,

00:29:52.140 go ahead and take it.

00:29:52.860 Oh, great.

00:29:53.360 And they shake hands.

00:29:54.380 That's not how it worked.

00:29:56.360 These,

00:29:56.660 if it's an empire

00:29:57.560 at any point in history,

00:29:59.980 especially in ancient history,

00:30:01.500 they were grown

00:30:02.760 by conquering

00:30:03.780 and subjugating

00:30:04.700 and killing

00:30:05.380 and enslaving

00:30:06.220 all throughout the world.

00:30:11.360 Now,

00:30:13.640 this is historical misinformation

00:30:16.320 and historical illiteracy

00:30:18.100 on multiple levels

00:30:19.100 because she also says

00:30:20.100 that not only

00:30:21.220 were they peaceful

00:30:21.840 and not subjugating each other,

00:30:23.240 which is a total fantasy,

00:30:24.880 but that they were crossing oceans.

00:30:27.560 And interacting peacefully

00:30:29.040 with the people

00:30:30.280 on the other side

00:30:30.860 of the ocean.

00:30:32.720 That's also not correct.

00:30:35.360 Now,

00:30:35.840 there were plenty

00:30:36.260 of non-white cultures

00:30:37.360 who were,

00:30:38.560 you know,

00:30:39.580 seafaring,

00:30:41.020 like the,

00:30:41.640 you know,

00:30:41.780 especially the Polynesians,

00:30:43.000 for example.

00:30:44.080 But nobody was traveling

00:30:46.760 whole oceans

00:30:47.800 and setting up

00:30:48.720 lasting settlements

00:30:49.860 until Western,

00:30:55.000 until Europeans

00:30:55.940 were doing it.

00:30:56.420 they were the first

00:30:57.420 to do it.

00:30:58.760 To cross entire

00:31:00.400 unknown oceans,

00:31:01.760 go to an unknown

00:31:02.840 part of the world

00:31:03.540 and set up a settlement.

00:31:05.920 So,

00:31:06.420 she's also not correct

00:31:07.340 about that.

00:31:09.540 And,

00:31:10.000 and by the way,

00:31:10.700 the non-white,

00:31:12.620 non-Western empires

00:31:13.700 that were not

00:31:14.700 traveling across oceans,

00:31:17.460 the reason why

00:31:19.160 they didn't travel

00:31:19.940 across the ocean,

00:31:20.700 it's not because

00:31:21.140 they had some sort

00:31:21.620 of ethical qualm

00:31:22.520 with it.

00:31:23.200 It's not because

00:31:23.680 they said,

00:31:24.040 oh yeah,

00:31:24.440 there could be,

00:31:24.980 there could be

00:31:26.680 usable land

00:31:27.360 on the other side

00:31:27.940 of this huge

00:31:28.860 body of water

00:31:29.600 and there could

00:31:30.860 be resources

00:31:31.500 and there could

00:31:32.020 be slaves

00:31:32.460 that we could

00:31:32.800 take,

00:31:33.420 but we're not

00:31:33.900 going to do

00:31:34.280 that because,

00:31:35.060 you know,

00:31:35.480 we want to

00:31:36.680 respect their

00:31:37.200 autonomy

00:31:37.580 and we want to,

00:31:38.900 and they're

00:31:39.140 going to be

00:31:39.400 indigenous peoples

00:31:40.220 on that landmass

00:31:42.320 and we want

00:31:42.820 to respect them.

00:31:43.400 No,

00:31:45.780 they didn't do it

00:31:46.440 because they

00:31:47.060 lacked the

00:31:47.580 knowledge or

00:31:48.080 the interest

00:31:48.600 or the ability.

00:31:51.380 Perhaps they

00:31:51.880 didn't see it

00:31:52.320 as in their

00:31:53.080 interest to,

00:31:54.060 you know,

00:31:54.180 there was enough

00:31:54.700 that they could

00:31:55.240 take and steal

00:31:56.080 and conquer

00:31:56.740 around them

00:31:57.900 that they need

00:31:58.460 to travel across

00:31:59.060 the ocean

00:31:59.420 to do it.

00:32:02.740 College professor,

00:32:04.160 folks,

00:32:04.640 college professor,

00:32:05.900 and some of you

00:32:08.020 in the audience

00:32:08.580 are paying

00:32:09.240 six figures.

00:32:11.100 I mean,

00:32:11.300 you are paying

00:32:12.040 top dollar,

00:32:13.960 you're paying

00:32:14.420 enormous sums

00:32:15.380 to send your

00:32:16.640 kids to school

00:32:17.580 to listen to

00:32:19.240 bullshit like that.

00:32:21.820 Think about that

00:32:22.620 for a second.

00:32:24.600 I didn't go to

00:32:25.500 college at all.

00:32:27.640 I dropped out

00:32:28.640 of community college

00:32:29.380 after one semester.

00:32:30.500 That's what I did.

00:32:32.600 And I could be

00:32:33.960 teaching her

00:32:34.480 a history lesson.

00:32:36.780 I am far more

00:32:38.020 knowledgeable than

00:32:38.760 she is as a,

00:32:40.800 I don't know

00:32:41.200 what subject

00:32:41.960 she teaches,

00:32:42.380 but as a college

00:32:43.340 professor,

00:32:43.940 I am far more

00:32:44.560 knowledgeable than

00:32:45.040 her.

00:32:47.720 Give me that

00:32:48.280 money.

00:32:48.460 You know what?

00:32:49.200 If you're going

00:32:49.620 to spend $100,000

00:32:50.700 sending your kid,

00:32:51.540 give me $100,000

00:32:52.660 and I will teach

00:32:53.680 your kid.

00:32:55.600 I'm not going to

00:32:56.140 say I'm going to

00:32:56.500 do it.

00:32:56.840 It's not that I'll

00:32:57.380 do a tremendous

00:32:57.820 job,

00:32:58.320 but I'll do a

00:32:58.740 better job than

00:32:59.420 these college

00:33:00.220 professors will.

00:33:02.660 You know what?

00:33:03.240 I'll do it.

00:33:03.560 I'll cut it in half.

00:33:04.740 I'll do it for

00:33:05.300 $50,000.

00:33:07.440 Give me $50,000

00:33:08.220 and I'll condense it.

00:33:09.640 I'll teach them

00:33:09.980 in a month.

00:33:11.220 They'll be in and out.

00:33:11.760 How about that?

00:33:15.080 Let's see what

00:33:15.620 else we got here.

00:33:17.220 We got a lot of

00:33:17.960 stuff.

00:33:18.500 I'm not sure if we

00:33:19.600 can get through all

00:33:20.020 this.

00:33:22.180 Let's check in with

00:33:23.620 the FDA.

00:33:24.660 This week, the FDA

00:33:25.560 advisory committee

00:33:26.600 recommended that we

00:33:27.540 start giving COVID

00:33:28.460 shots to kids age

00:33:31.140 five through 11.

00:33:32.900 I'm going to play a

00:33:33.440 very short clip from

00:33:34.440 one member of the

00:33:35.320 committee.

00:33:35.680 This is Eric Rubin.

00:33:36.560 And you tell me if

00:33:38.960 this instills you

00:33:40.020 with a great amount

00:33:40.700 of confidence in the

00:33:41.760 vaccine.

00:33:42.220 Listen.

00:33:43.480 But we're never

00:33:44.660 going to learn about

00:33:45.580 how safe the vaccine

00:33:46.780 is unless we start

00:33:47.660 giving it.

00:33:48.720 That's just the way

00:33:49.640 it goes.

00:33:52.220 So this is the

00:33:53.160 Nancy Pelosi, we've

00:33:54.280 got to pass the bill

00:33:54.980 to find out what's in

00:33:55.800 it thing.

00:33:57.500 Except in this case,

00:33:58.340 we've got to approve

00:33:59.000 the vaccine and

00:33:59.780 inject it into

00:34:00.340 children's bodies to

00:34:01.420 find out what's in

00:34:02.020 it or to find out

00:34:02.940 at least if it will

00:34:03.520 harm them.

00:34:03.900 Here's what I'll

00:34:08.620 say about this.

00:34:10.900 As a parent of

00:34:12.560 kids who are in

00:34:13.260 that age range,

00:34:14.440 they are not going

00:34:16.800 to be getting the

00:34:17.260 vaccine and the

00:34:18.160 reason they won't

00:34:18.880 get it is because

00:34:20.220 I love my kids.

00:34:24.600 And I'm not saying

00:34:25.520 that if you get your

00:34:26.000 kids vaccinated

00:34:26.640 with, I'm not saying

00:34:28.300 that if you give your

00:34:28.860 kids the COVID

00:34:29.320 vaccine that you

00:34:30.780 don't love them.

00:34:33.900 that's another one

00:34:35.580 of those things

00:34:36.040 that I would never

00:34:36.760 say.

00:34:39.480 I wouldn't say it

00:34:40.580 on this show,

00:34:41.560 which will be on

00:34:42.000 YouTube.

00:34:42.400 I wouldn't say it.

00:34:45.260 All right.

00:34:46.780 What else we got?

00:34:47.680 Okay.

00:34:48.340 Now we check in,

00:34:49.720 go from the FDA

00:34:50.840 to the NYC subway

00:34:52.660 system where the

00:34:53.820 good people of New

00:34:54.500 York commute in a

00:34:55.880 peaceful and orderly

00:34:56.980 way.

00:34:57.340 And here's some

00:34:58.440 video that was

00:34:58.920 taken of what

00:35:01.060 starts as, I

00:35:01.940 suppose, an

00:35:02.500 argument between a

00:35:03.880 man and a woman.

00:35:05.800 I will say a

00:35:06.680 black man and a

00:35:07.440 white woman.

00:35:09.200 And I tell you

00:35:09.880 that because I do

00:35:10.420 think the races are

00:35:11.220 relevant here.

00:35:14.140 And here's how

00:35:14.900 that ends up.

00:35:15.940 Let's start

00:35:16.460 watching this here.

00:35:18.300 My train riding

00:35:19.340 NYC.

00:35:20.260 Say it to my

00:35:21.100 face now.

00:35:21.980 Say it to my

00:35:22.640 face now.

00:35:23.460 Tell me to take

00:35:23.900 a chill pill.

00:35:24.860 Say the word

00:35:26.040 chill pill.

00:35:27.560 Oh.

00:35:29.000 Okay, punches

00:35:29.500 it right in the

00:35:29.920 face.

00:35:31.060 Oh.

00:35:32.680 Say the word

00:35:33.380 chill pill.

00:35:33.880 And I just

00:35:34.260 want to, they

00:35:35.920 replay this a few

00:35:36.620 times, but I

00:35:36.920 want to keep

00:35:37.240 playing it so

00:35:37.780 that you can see

00:35:38.500 the reaction from

00:35:40.060 everybody on the

00:35:40.800 subway.

00:35:41.260 Or lack thereof.

00:35:43.260 What?

00:35:46.340 That's OD.

00:35:49.180 That's OD.

00:35:50.720 You see that one

00:35:52.120 guy standing closest

00:35:52.920 to him, the guy in

00:35:53.480 the ball cap.

00:35:54.760 And I don't know if

00:35:55.580 he's with that

00:35:56.100 woman.

00:35:56.500 I sure hope that

00:35:57.280 he's not.

00:35:57.720 I mean, if he is,

00:35:58.260 if he was with her,

00:35:59.040 I hope he's not

00:35:59.540 anymore.

00:35:59.900 But his response

00:36:03.660 is, okay, we can

00:36:04.400 turn this off now.

00:36:06.900 So that guy, his

00:36:07.980 response, I think he

00:36:11.100 does, you know, in

00:36:11.740 fairness to him, he

00:36:12.560 does speak up and

00:36:13.420 says, hey, hey,

00:36:14.240 man, whoa.

00:36:17.480 This is a woman who

00:36:18.280 was just brutally

00:36:18.780 assaulted right in front

00:36:19.580 of him.

00:36:19.840 And he says, oh,

00:36:20.680 whoa, whoa, whoa,

00:36:21.380 man.

00:36:23.200 And nothing else.

00:36:24.020 Everybody else on

00:36:25.920 the plane, there's

00:36:26.300 on the, on the train

00:36:27.220 rather, there's,

00:36:27.820 there's that train

00:36:28.780 is packed people

00:36:29.840 all around,

00:36:30.500 including a lot of

00:36:31.160 men, alleged men,

00:36:33.840 biological men, at

00:36:34.680 least.

00:36:35.900 And, um, they just

00:36:37.600 stand there watching

00:36:38.200 this.

00:36:38.500 Many don't even like

00:36:39.380 they're looking down

00:36:39.940 on their phones.

00:36:40.620 They don't even

00:36:40.920 look up except for

00:36:44.260 the person who's

00:36:44.740 using their phone to

00:36:45.360 record all of this

00:36:46.080 and not intervening.

00:36:46.840 Of course, you

00:36:51.000 know, this, this is

00:36:53.260 definitely a theme

00:36:54.500 and it has been.

00:36:55.060 It was only what

00:36:55.720 last week, two

00:36:56.360 weeks ago, we had

00:36:57.380 the story of, um, a

00:36:58.900 woman being raped on

00:36:59.820 a train.

00:37:01.740 There was no video

00:37:02.640 of that.

00:37:03.080 That was at least

00:37:03.580 released to the

00:37:04.220 public.

00:37:04.500 Although the police

00:37:05.620 it would seem did

00:37:06.360 have video because

00:37:07.020 that was videoed as

00:37:07.740 well and, um, raped

00:37:09.500 on a train and, uh,

00:37:10.840 no, no one, no

00:37:11.580 one intervened.

00:37:12.160 There were people on

00:37:12.760 the train just sat

00:37:13.760 and watched.

00:37:14.140 It didn't do

00:37:14.440 anything.

00:37:16.360 So it's, it

00:37:17.060 certainly is becoming

00:37:17.740 a theme.

00:37:20.920 Now I say the races

00:37:22.000 were relevant there

00:37:22.820 because number

00:37:23.740 one, again, if

00:37:25.380 we're going by one

00:37:26.080 standard here, we

00:37:28.020 know that if the

00:37:30.240 races were reversed,

00:37:31.400 it certainly

00:37:31.780 everybody would be

00:37:32.400 saying that.

00:37:32.740 I mean, can, can,

00:37:33.380 can you imagine a

00:37:36.160 large white man

00:37:37.320 punching a black

00:37:38.540 woman in the face

00:37:39.300 and there's video

00:37:40.920 of it?

00:37:42.360 That video would

00:37:43.160 be everywhere.

00:37:44.660 It would be a

00:37:45.660 national crisis.

00:37:47.720 We would know the

00:37:49.200 assailant.

00:37:49.760 We would know

00:37:50.060 everything about him

00:37:50.780 right now.

00:37:51.100 We would know his

00:37:51.540 name or where he

00:37:52.380 lives, his job,

00:37:54.060 which he would not

00:37:54.600 have anymore and

00:37:55.520 rightfully so.

00:37:58.260 We know that's the

00:37:59.020 case.

00:38:00.520 This happens and

00:38:01.620 that's not the

00:38:02.760 reaction at all.

00:38:05.020 But there have,

00:38:05.800 this is not the

00:38:06.440 only video of this

00:38:07.400 kind that we've

00:38:07.880 seen of white

00:38:10.000 women being

00:38:10.800 assaulted.

00:38:13.580 And I believe the

00:38:14.420 other thing that

00:38:14.900 makes especially the

00:38:15.860 race of the victim

00:38:16.760 relevant is that

00:38:18.660 this is becoming

00:38:19.440 sort of a meme

00:38:21.020 or it has been

00:38:22.800 a meme online

00:38:23.720 for a long time

00:38:24.860 now about,

00:38:25.400 you know,

00:38:25.900 kind of dehumanizing

00:38:26.960 white women.

00:38:27.720 We know about the

00:38:28.600 Karen meme

00:38:29.360 and I've been

00:38:31.280 complaining about

00:38:31.840 that for

00:38:32.540 months now

00:38:34.700 and people laugh

00:38:36.040 about it.

00:38:36.300 I said the Karen

00:38:36.840 meme is a racial

00:38:37.760 slur

00:38:38.160 and it's used

00:38:41.480 as an excuse

00:38:42.120 to kind of

00:38:43.060 dehumanize

00:38:43.740 white women

00:38:44.280 and

00:38:46.600 and

00:38:49.880 so as this

00:38:51.200 meme gains,

00:38:52.300 you know,

00:38:53.600 gains popularity,

00:38:55.060 we see more and

00:38:55.900 more of these

00:38:56.280 assaults on white

00:38:57.080 women.

00:38:58.680 I think there is a

00:38:59.600 connection

00:38:59.940 where, you know,

00:39:02.800 we're sort of being

00:39:03.280 told it's like

00:39:03.940 acceptable

00:39:04.580 for a white

00:39:07.000 woman to be

00:39:07.560 treated this way

00:39:08.220 and what

00:39:12.460 what did she say

00:39:13.440 to quote unquote

00:39:14.360 earn that

00:39:15.220 that assault?

00:39:16.580 She said take a

00:39:17.700 chill pill apparently

00:39:18.500 is what she said

00:39:19.120 but then

00:39:23.340 you run into

00:39:24.240 the fact that

00:39:25.000 as other people

00:39:28.120 have pointed out

00:39:28.680 online,

00:39:29.980 you know,

00:39:30.740 if you live in

00:39:31.280 New York,

00:39:31.860 this is what you

00:39:33.260 voted for.

00:39:35.740 This kind of

00:39:36.500 lawless environment.

00:39:37.560 And I

00:39:40.900 and I

00:39:41.340 understand the

00:39:41.940 argument that

00:39:42.320 some people

00:39:42.640 make that

00:39:43.180 hey,

00:39:43.980 if I were on

00:39:45.520 the train

00:39:45.840 and I saw

00:39:46.280 that happen,

00:39:47.040 I wouldn't

00:39:47.880 step in either

00:39:48.620 because I

00:39:49.420 know that

00:39:49.980 because of the

00:39:50.900 racial dynamics,

00:39:51.960 there's a

00:39:52.820 there's a

00:39:53.360 very good

00:39:54.100 chance that,

00:39:54.860 you know,

00:39:55.500 I'm going to

00:39:57.000 end up being

00:39:57.380 charged with a

00:39:58.060 with a hate

00:39:58.800 crime.

00:39:59.440 I'm going to

00:39:59.960 have the mob

00:40:00.380 coming after me.

00:40:01.780 The video is

00:40:02.620 taken out of

00:40:03.260 context and it

00:40:04.100 ends up online

00:40:04.860 and next thing

00:40:05.240 you know,

00:40:05.420 they're coming

00:40:05.660 after me

00:40:06.200 and my

00:40:07.240 life is

00:40:07.620 destroyed.

00:40:09.760 And I

00:40:10.480 understand that

00:40:10.940 argument.

00:40:12.400 I mean,

00:40:12.860 I understand it

00:40:13.400 intellectually.

00:40:15.340 It's self-preservation

00:40:16.580 that you don't want

00:40:17.240 to get involved.

00:40:18.720 But there's

00:40:19.320 nothing terribly

00:40:19.800 unique about

00:40:20.360 that.

00:40:20.740 cowards are

00:40:24.440 always concerned

00:40:25.500 with self-preservation.

00:40:28.360 That's not

00:40:28.980 unique to our

00:40:29.580 culture.

00:40:31.620 But it's

00:40:32.240 still cowardice.

00:40:36.960 Cowardice,

00:40:37.740 it's not

00:40:39.420 doing the

00:40:39.880 right thing,

00:40:40.820 not wanting

00:40:41.740 to put yourself

00:40:42.300 in harm's

00:40:42.780 way to do

00:40:44.040 the right

00:40:44.320 thing,

00:40:45.020 to protect

00:40:46.780 the innocent,

00:40:47.520 you know,

00:40:47.940 because you're

00:40:48.880 concerned with

00:40:49.380 preserving your

00:40:49.940 own safety

00:40:50.460 and your

00:40:50.680 own well-being.

00:40:51.840 That's the

00:40:52.400 coward's

00:40:52.940 way.

00:40:53.700 And there's

00:40:54.240 a certain

00:40:54.660 intellectual

00:40:55.460 rationale to

00:40:57.360 it that we

00:40:57.820 can all

00:40:58.120 understand.

00:40:58.780 Yeah,

00:40:58.940 you don't

00:40:59.140 want to

00:40:59.340 get hurt.

00:41:00.840 You take

00:41:01.300 the potential

00:41:02.120 hate crime

00:41:02.700 aspect out

00:41:03.340 of it.

00:41:03.940 The other

00:41:04.280 issue is if

00:41:04.660 you step

00:41:04.960 in,

00:41:05.360 you might

00:41:05.640 get your

00:41:06.000 ass kicked.

00:41:08.920 I understand

00:41:09.620 that you

00:41:09.820 don't want

00:41:10.660 to experience

00:41:11.180 that because

00:41:11.620 it hurts.

00:41:15.080 But there

00:41:17.340 are moments

00:41:17.760 in life where

00:41:18.240 you are just

00:41:18.920 simply called

00:41:19.620 to do the

00:41:20.300 right thing

00:41:20.720 and put

00:41:21.520 your own

00:41:21.960 safety and

00:41:22.620 potentially your

00:41:24.100 own life on

00:41:24.540 the line.

00:41:25.040 You're called

00:41:25.560 to do that.

00:41:28.000 And the thing

00:41:28.620 is if you don't

00:41:30.120 step up in that

00:41:30.760 moment, like the

00:41:31.380 guy that's on

00:41:31.860 that video now,

00:41:33.060 immortalized, the

00:41:33.960 coward who

00:41:35.620 watched this

00:41:36.080 happen and

00:41:37.040 didn't do

00:41:39.020 anything about

00:41:39.500 it, yeah,

00:41:41.540 he preserved his

00:41:42.500 physical safety.

00:41:44.080 He's not going

00:41:44.700 to have the cops

00:41:45.140 coming after him

00:41:45.900 for a hate

00:41:46.480 crime or

00:41:46.800 anything like

00:41:47.100 that, but

00:41:48.560 he's given

00:41:48.860 up his

00:41:49.160 dignity.

00:41:50.640 You've

00:41:51.060 sacrificed your

00:41:51.960 dignity as a

00:41:52.900 man.

00:41:53.240 You've

00:41:53.380 sacrificed your

00:41:54.080 masculinity

00:41:54.620 permanently and

00:41:56.660 you're never

00:41:57.020 going to get

00:41:57.340 it back.

00:42:00.300 You've given

00:42:00.840 up your

00:42:01.100 self-respect

00:42:01.800 because there's

00:42:05.380 no way you

00:42:05.680 can live with

00:42:06.040 yourself and

00:42:06.880 at least look

00:42:07.660 at yourself in

00:42:08.120 the mirror and

00:42:08.800 feel any pride

00:42:10.100 after something

00:42:11.320 like that.

00:42:14.960 It's not

00:42:15.600 worth it.

00:42:17.180 So even if

00:42:17.700 you're preserving

00:42:18.160 your safety,

00:42:18.760 you're not

00:42:19.040 preserving your

00:42:19.560 own dignity

00:42:20.020 and it's not

00:42:21.880 worth giving

00:42:22.560 up your

00:42:22.940 dignity as a

00:42:23.780 man to

00:42:25.600 preserve your

00:42:26.060 safety.

00:42:27.940 All right,

00:42:28.600 one other thing

00:42:29.240 to play, a

00:42:29.800 little bit less

00:42:30.160 serious.

00:42:31.680 If you want to

00:42:32.340 see something

00:42:32.760 mesmerizing,

00:42:33.780 BuzzFeed posted

00:42:34.640 this and they

00:42:35.740 said it's

00:42:36.080 mesmerizing

00:42:36.600 anyway.

00:42:36.920 They posted

00:42:37.200 this and said

00:42:37.660 this is mesmerizing

00:42:39.100 art.

00:42:40.040 This is a

00:42:40.460 modern artist

00:42:41.260 doing her

00:42:42.200 art, I

00:42:43.240 guess.

00:42:44.520 Let's see

00:42:45.320 what this

00:42:45.600 looks like.

00:42:52.920 Okay.

00:42:54.080 So she's

00:42:54.800 covered in

00:42:55.220 paint and

00:42:57.240 playing, she's

00:42:57.820 like playing

00:42:58.180 Twister on a

00:42:59.640 canvas.

00:43:03.460 And that's

00:43:04.220 the art,

00:43:06.960 essentially.

00:43:08.520 Look at that,

00:43:09.180 look at the

00:43:09.400 final product

00:43:09.840 there.

00:43:10.000 looks like

00:43:11.220 random

00:43:11.520 splotches,

00:43:12.360 quite beautiful

00:43:13.520 splotches.

00:43:18.260 Yeah, I'll

00:43:18.960 tell you

00:43:19.140 exactly what

00:43:19.560 happened here.

00:43:22.580 That there

00:43:24.080 was, you

00:43:24.380 know, there

00:43:24.580 was, this

00:43:25.880 is, there

00:43:26.680 was some

00:43:27.060 man who

00:43:27.700 was trying

00:43:28.420 to, you

00:43:30.680 know, trying

00:43:33.020 to make

00:43:33.260 himself appealing

00:43:33.900 to this

00:43:34.260 woman.

00:43:34.540 woman, she

00:43:36.400 told, she

00:43:36.900 showed the

00:43:37.400 man her

00:43:37.900 art and

00:43:38.440 the guy

00:43:38.760 said, oh

00:43:39.240 yeah, that's

00:43:39.720 great art,

00:43:40.700 that's

00:43:40.900 beautiful, you

00:43:41.540 have a lot

00:43:42.180 of talent.

00:43:44.800 Hey, you

00:43:45.200 want to go

00:43:45.420 out this

00:43:45.660 Friday night,

00:43:46.040 by the way?

00:43:48.040 And ever

00:43:48.540 since that

00:43:48.920 happened, this

00:43:49.340 is what's

00:43:50.140 being unleashed

00:43:51.880 on the

00:43:52.160 world.

00:43:55.040 But I will

00:43:55.520 say, you

00:43:55.820 know, you

00:43:56.540 might as well

00:43:56.820 put that, I

00:43:57.320 mean, that's

00:43:57.600 as good as

00:43:58.360 any other

00:43:58.620 modern art,

00:43:59.440 you'll see.

00:44:00.000 Might as well

00:44:00.300 put it in

00:44:00.880 a museum.

00:44:03.580 Some

00:44:03.940 billionaire will

00:44:04.500 pay a

00:44:05.340 hundred

00:44:05.500 million

00:44:06.120 dollars for

00:44:06.680 it.

00:44:09.560 I'll tell

00:44:10.000 you, this

00:44:10.200 is my, okay,

00:44:10.700 we can turn

00:44:11.040 this off now.

00:44:12.960 Oh, and as

00:44:13.360 the video

00:44:13.680 continues, she's

00:44:14.540 wearing less,

00:44:15.640 fewer and

00:44:16.120 fewer articles

00:44:16.600 of clothing.

00:44:17.880 Okay, my

00:44:20.260 problem with

00:44:20.720 modern art is

00:44:22.060 that it's

00:44:22.460 ugly and

00:44:23.060 stupid and

00:44:23.500 doesn't mean

00:44:23.920 anything.

00:44:25.180 It's also

00:44:25.820 just kind of

00:44:27.440 cowardly in

00:44:29.120 a way.

00:44:29.400 There's a

00:44:30.280 kind of

00:44:30.480 intellectual

00:44:31.000 cowardice to

00:44:32.000 modern art

00:44:32.620 that you

00:44:32.840 see, especially

00:44:33.620 if you can

00:44:34.820 get over

00:44:35.220 the abject

00:44:37.460 silliness of

00:44:38.100 it.

00:44:38.860 There's an

00:44:39.220 intellectual

00:44:39.580 cowardice to

00:44:40.300 it because

00:44:40.560 you're not

00:44:40.860 saying anything.

00:44:41.800 I mean, art

00:44:42.180 is supposed to

00:44:42.860 say something.

00:44:44.160 It's supposed

00:44:44.800 to portray

00:44:46.100 something.

00:44:48.200 There has to

00:44:48.820 be some

00:44:49.140 coherence to

00:44:50.060 art in order

00:44:50.580 for it to

00:44:51.000 be art.

00:44:53.040 But when

00:44:53.700 you actually

00:44:54.980 produce coherent

00:44:56.860 art, when

00:44:57.420 you're saying

00:44:58.220 something that

00:44:59.000 can be

00:44:59.280 understood and

00:45:00.060 interpreted,

00:45:01.120 when you're

00:45:02.000 trying to

00:45:02.540 portray

00:45:02.920 something,

00:45:05.680 here's my

00:45:06.540 painting of

00:45:07.280 an actual

00:45:07.720 thing, when

00:45:09.780 you do that,

00:45:10.440 then there's an

00:45:10.880 objective standard

00:45:11.680 people can judge

00:45:12.440 it against.

00:45:14.320 And they can

00:45:14.900 say, oh, you

00:45:15.340 tried to paint a

00:45:16.000 picture of a

00:45:16.540 tree.

00:45:16.880 Well, you

00:45:17.340 know, it's

00:45:18.280 not a great

00:45:18.680 tree.

00:45:20.360 Or you're

00:45:21.100 trying to say

00:45:21.800 this or that

00:45:22.320 with your art.

00:45:22.900 Well, you

00:45:23.100 didn't do a

00:45:23.400 very good job

00:45:23.840 of conveying

00:45:24.280 it.

00:45:24.620 And so they

00:45:24.900 can judge it.

00:45:25.600 There's an

00:45:25.880 objective standard

00:45:26.460 they can judge

00:45:26.920 it against.

00:45:27.260 Part of

00:45:29.420 modern art,

00:45:30.220 the goal of

00:45:31.040 modern art is

00:45:31.500 to escape that

00:45:32.600 objective standard

00:45:33.780 so that nobody

00:45:34.560 can judge it.

00:45:35.140 No one can

00:45:35.700 say it's bad

00:45:36.440 because bad

00:45:38.640 compared to

00:45:39.180 what?

00:45:42.040 They can't

00:45:42.620 say, oh, you

00:45:43.080 did a poor

00:45:43.580 job of

00:45:44.340 conveying this

00:45:45.120 or portraying

00:45:45.720 this because

00:45:46.100 you're not

00:45:46.320 trying to

00:45:46.640 convey or

00:45:47.100 portray anything.

00:45:50.100 Which is, of

00:45:50.720 course, in the

00:45:51.160 end, exactly

00:45:51.620 what makes it

00:45:52.080 bad.

00:45:52.540 The worst

00:45:53.100 kind of art,

00:45:53.840 in fact.

00:45:54.880 Okay, now

00:45:55.640 let's read

00:45:56.160 the comments.

00:46:13.680 So,

00:46:14.680 Taimi

00:46:15.080 Shoe says,

00:46:16.080 Matt, what

00:46:16.920 did Christ

00:46:17.400 mean by live

00:46:18.160 by the sword,

00:46:18.960 die by the

00:46:19.580 sword?

00:46:19.900 Does it have

00:46:20.260 a broader

00:46:20.600 implication for

00:46:21.500 self-defense,

00:46:22.380 war, or

00:46:22.920 justice?

00:46:23.360 Of course,

00:46:25.420 it has

00:46:25.600 implication for

00:46:26.200 all those

00:46:26.560 things, but

00:46:27.180 this is why

00:46:27.940 when you're

00:46:28.240 reading the

00:46:28.560 Gospels, when

00:46:29.200 you're reading

00:46:29.420 anything in

00:46:29.820 the Bible,

00:46:31.640 you can't

00:46:32.740 prove text,

00:46:34.040 you can't

00:46:35.320 just quote

00:46:36.540 mine, or

00:46:37.540 you go kind

00:46:40.360 of mining for

00:46:41.120 a certain

00:46:41.480 verse or

00:46:42.140 a certain

00:46:42.620 phrase, you

00:46:43.060 take it out

00:46:43.440 of context,

00:46:45.180 just like

00:46:45.700 people do

00:46:46.100 when they're

00:46:46.340 doing, just

00:46:46.740 like Dick

00:46:47.100 Durbin did

00:46:47.620 when he was

00:46:47.920 researching on

00:46:48.540 Google, and

00:46:49.660 then you think

00:46:50.120 that it proves

00:46:50.540 your point.

00:46:50.980 You can't do

00:46:51.360 that.

00:46:51.460 You have to

00:46:51.720 understand

00:46:52.480 everything in

00:46:54.860 the Bible

00:46:55.220 within its

00:46:56.160 context, and

00:46:56.860 the context

00:46:58.040 is always

00:46:58.580 pretty complex,

00:47:00.720 and any

00:47:01.100 quote you

00:47:02.720 read from

00:47:03.400 Jesus in

00:47:04.180 the Gospels,

00:47:05.760 you have to

00:47:06.320 understand those

00:47:06.980 quotes within

00:47:07.560 the context of

00:47:08.180 everything else

00:47:08.600 that he said.

00:47:11.540 So, live by

00:47:12.140 the sword, die

00:47:12.620 by the sword

00:47:13.100 is a perfect

00:47:13.520 example.

00:47:14.400 If you take

00:47:14.960 that verse,

00:47:17.160 those six

00:47:18.800 words, six,

00:47:20.020 seven words,

00:47:20.400 take them by

00:47:20.900 themselves,

00:47:21.720 outside of

00:47:24.480 the context

00:47:24.820 of everything

00:47:25.280 else in

00:47:25.680 the Gospels

00:47:26.120 and everything

00:47:26.400 else in

00:47:26.660 the Bibles,

00:47:27.080 Old and New

00:47:27.380 Testament, and

00:47:28.540 then it would

00:47:28.840 seem that

00:47:29.700 Jesus is

00:47:30.200 saying that

00:47:31.160 you should

00:47:31.480 never use

00:47:32.120 a weapon

00:47:32.580 at all

00:47:34.580 for any

00:47:35.480 reason, even

00:47:37.160 to defend

00:47:37.620 yourself.

00:47:40.380 But then you

00:47:41.100 read it within

00:47:41.740 the context of

00:47:42.560 everything else in

00:47:43.300 the scriptures,

00:47:43.780 and it becomes

00:47:44.220 clear that that's

00:47:45.200 not the case at

00:47:45.700 all.

00:47:45.880 I mean, to

00:47:48.260 defend yourself,

00:47:49.520 to do your

00:47:50.920 duty and

00:47:51.800 defend your

00:47:52.540 family.

00:47:55.260 Certainly

00:47:55.780 violence is

00:47:56.360 acceptable there.

00:47:57.520 Jesus Christ

00:47:58.620 used violence

00:48:00.720 on at least

00:48:01.880 one occasion,

00:48:03.800 clearing the

00:48:04.620 temple of the

00:48:05.580 money changers.

00:48:07.100 That was not

00:48:07.900 done peacefully.

00:48:09.340 It says that he

00:48:10.120 fashioned a whip.

00:48:10.960 In fact, it says,

00:48:11.800 I think it's

00:48:12.180 significant that it

00:48:12.700 says that he

00:48:13.040 fashioned a whip.

00:48:14.580 Not even that he

00:48:15.360 grabbed one, but

00:48:15.900 he took the time

00:48:16.660 to actually make

00:48:17.420 a whip, to

00:48:18.740 then go and

00:48:19.280 use it on

00:48:21.840 people, to

00:48:23.480 drive them

00:48:23.920 out.

00:48:24.120 And why?

00:48:24.500 Because he was

00:48:24.920 defending, you

00:48:27.040 know, the

00:48:27.520 sacredness and

00:48:28.400 dignity of the

00:48:28.920 temple.

00:48:32.320 And it's okay to

00:48:33.220 use violence in

00:48:33.980 some circumstances

00:48:34.900 for that.

00:48:37.080 So you

00:48:37.260 understand within

00:48:37.720 context, and it's

00:48:38.360 clear that, you

00:48:40.540 know, Jesus was

00:48:41.120 not anti-violence

00:48:43.120 as a general

00:48:44.740 statement.

00:48:47.240 Austin says, I

00:48:48.520 once interacted

00:48:49.060 with someone who

00:48:49.500 said that dogs

00:48:50.200 are people, too.

00:48:51.860 It never occurred

00:48:52.460 to me until

00:48:52.800 recently that they

00:48:53.400 were being 100%

00:48:54.100 serious.

00:48:54.780 Our culture's

00:48:55.180 inability to make

00:48:55.860 distinctions is

00:48:56.760 horrifying.

00:48:58.860 Yeah, this was

00:48:59.320 something that for

00:49:00.180 me also, it took

00:49:01.140 a while to sink

00:49:01.980 in.

00:49:02.220 Oh, no, the

00:49:03.140 people, this is

00:49:04.660 actually a belief

00:49:05.360 system that lots

00:49:06.660 of people hold,

00:49:07.260 that dogs and

00:49:07.840 people are equal.

00:49:08.760 But we won't get

00:49:09.420 into that again.

00:49:09.840 I think I've

00:49:10.220 probably said

00:49:10.680 more than I

00:49:12.560 need to say on

00:49:13.380 that subject.

00:49:14.200 Sweet Mama G

00:49:14.900 says, I had a

00:49:15.680 skip it and a

00:49:16.340 poly pocket as a

00:49:17.280 kid, and as I

00:49:18.300 got older, a

00:49:18.920 Walkman with

00:49:19.600 shuffle and

00:49:20.460 bass boost, and

00:49:21.820 thought that I

00:49:22.160 was living high

00:49:22.640 on the hog.

00:49:23.400 A tank, though?

00:49:24.180 Honestly, I

00:49:24.700 might get one for

00:49:25.180 my sweet baby G's.

00:49:26.460 They already have

00:49:26.980 a roller coaster,

00:49:28.080 seven-foot climbing

00:49:28.840 mountain, a ninja

00:49:30.040 warrior obstacle, a

00:49:31.160 zipline, why not a

00:49:32.080 tank?

00:49:33.380 Before you say

00:49:34.020 they're spoiled,

00:49:34.660 they are.

00:49:35.380 My son is

00:49:35.840 autistic and has

00:49:36.480 epilepsy and

00:49:37.060 hospitalized a lot.

00:49:38.080 I want to make

00:49:39.320 his childhood as

00:49:40.020 fun as possible

00:49:40.740 because tomorrow

00:49:41.320 isn't promised.

00:49:42.280 You have a

00:49:42.820 roller coaster in

00:49:43.700 your backyard?

00:49:47.200 Where do you

00:49:47.880 live?

00:49:48.300 I want my kids to

00:49:50.500 be friends with

00:49:51.120 your kid.

00:49:52.720 Yes, but you're

00:49:53.760 right.

00:49:54.000 These are the

00:49:54.420 kinds of toys that

00:49:55.200 we had as kids,

00:49:55.800 not roller coasters.

00:49:56.600 The skip it.

00:49:58.100 See, kids today,

00:49:58.620 you don't understand

00:49:59.160 this.

00:49:59.400 You don't

00:49:59.580 understand in the

00:50:00.200 90s what we had

00:50:01.480 to deal with.

00:50:03.100 A skip it was

00:50:03.740 like a plastic

00:50:04.440 ball and chain

00:50:05.340 mechanism that you

00:50:06.700 would jump over,

00:50:07.480 and that was

00:50:08.200 it.

00:50:09.300 And we were

00:50:10.000 ecstatic about

00:50:10.660 it.

00:50:10.820 We loved it.

00:50:12.080 We had something

00:50:12.800 else called a

00:50:13.260 bop it and this

00:50:14.420 was a weird box

00:50:15.420 thing, like a

00:50:16.000 plastic box and

00:50:16.940 you would slap

00:50:17.920 the box and

00:50:18.760 that's all you

00:50:19.200 did.

00:50:19.360 You just slap

00:50:19.740 the box and

00:50:20.400 it was a fun

00:50:22.400 game.

00:50:23.840 We had a

00:50:24.420 Tamagotchi, which

00:50:25.460 is, you know,

00:50:26.020 kids these days

00:50:27.160 have the fancy

00:50:27.800 video games.

00:50:29.280 We had the

00:50:29.900 Tamagotchi, which

00:50:30.620 is like the

00:50:31.020 primitive caveman

00:50:32.440 hieroglyphic of

00:50:34.300 the video game

00:50:34.920 world.

00:50:35.240 And it

00:50:36.720 was this

00:50:37.060 pixeled blob

00:50:38.460 on a key

00:50:39.100 chain that

00:50:40.540 would eat

00:50:40.860 its own

00:50:41.180 feces and

00:50:41.740 then die

00:50:42.080 of malnourishment.

00:50:43.580 And we

00:50:44.120 loved it.

00:50:48.740 Kids today,

00:50:49.580 I'll tell you

00:50:49.960 what.

00:50:50.880 Let's see.

00:50:52.180 Joshua says,

00:50:52.900 hey, Matt, I

00:50:53.380 know, I don't

00:50:54.180 know if this is

00:50:54.720 the right place

00:50:55.280 to ask you

00:50:56.060 questions, but

00:50:57.180 I was wondering

00:50:57.660 how you manage

00:50:58.440 your time

00:50:59.120 dedicated to

00:50:59.880 work and

00:51:00.260 family.

00:51:00.640 How do you

00:51:01.040 maintain a

00:51:01.480 balance between

00:51:01.900 the two as

00:51:03.880 they're both

00:51:04.240 very important?

00:51:06.920 Yeah, well,

00:51:07.440 that's always

00:51:07.780 the difficulty

00:51:08.480 is that

00:51:10.460 work-life

00:51:10.920 balance and

00:51:11.420 so on.

00:51:11.940 I will say

00:51:12.420 that as a

00:51:12.760 man, it

00:51:13.160 really helps

00:51:13.800 to, and I

00:51:14.480 can't recommend

00:51:15.140 this highly

00:51:15.760 enough, it

00:51:16.800 helps to have

00:51:17.200 a wife who

00:51:17.860 believes in

00:51:18.900 what you do

00:51:20.160 and supports

00:51:21.200 what you do.

00:51:22.320 And I have

00:51:22.980 that, so it's

00:51:23.440 a lot easier

00:51:23.900 to find that

00:51:24.640 balance.

00:51:26.020 And, you

00:51:26.980 know, you

00:51:27.260 would like to

00:51:27.840 think that

00:51:28.080 that's sort

00:51:28.420 of automatic

00:51:29.060 in a marriage,

00:51:30.000 but it's

00:51:30.300 definitely not.

00:51:32.200 And it makes

00:51:32.900 it a lot more

00:51:33.260 difficult when you

00:51:33.740 don't have

00:51:34.040 that.

00:51:35.020 And finally,

00:51:35.640 Dave says,

00:51:36.240 if Matt were

00:51:36.700 in the position

00:51:37.120 of being able

00:51:37.620 to save the

00:51:38.200 life of a

00:51:38.760 dog or a

00:51:39.340 panda, but

00:51:39.940 not both,

00:51:41.460 which one

00:51:41.940 would he

00:51:42.160 choose?

00:51:43.380 Are we

00:51:43.660 talking about

00:51:43.940 the burning

00:51:44.340 building scenario?

00:51:46.400 Well, I would

00:51:46.820 never run into

00:51:48.400 a burning

00:51:48.720 building for

00:51:49.860 an animal.

00:51:50.720 I'm sorry,

00:51:51.240 I just, I

00:51:52.520 wouldn't do

00:51:53.120 that.

00:51:54.480 That is, we

00:51:55.660 talk about

00:51:56.060 there are times

00:51:56.520 for courage,

00:51:57.080 there's times

00:51:57.440 for self-preservation.

00:51:59.200 This is

00:51:59.760 definitely a

00:52:00.560 self-preservation

00:52:01.400 situation.

00:52:02.040 You know,

00:52:02.900 you got your

00:52:03.280 own family

00:52:03.820 you got to

00:52:04.060 get home

00:52:04.320 to.

00:52:04.620 So, I'm

00:52:06.580 sorry for the

00:52:07.040 dog and the

00:52:07.420 panda.

00:52:07.800 I hope it's a

00:52:08.260 quick death,

00:52:08.760 but I'm not

00:52:09.380 running in there.

00:52:09.940 Not happening.

00:52:11.060 You know, I've

00:52:11.500 been telling you

00:52:11.820 about this book

00:52:12.420 that just came

00:52:13.220 out by 40

00:52:13.640 Days for Life,

00:52:14.300 What to Say

00:52:14.800 When, the

00:52:15.120 complete new

00:52:15.660 guide to

00:52:16.000 discussing

00:52:16.340 abortion.

00:52:16.700 And the

00:52:17.220 reason I'm

00:52:17.600 telling you

00:52:17.900 about it is

00:52:18.260 that it is

00:52:18.980 just, it is

00:52:19.880 an invaluable

00:52:20.620 tool for all

00:52:21.520 pro-lifers.

00:52:22.060 If you're a

00:52:22.340 pro-lifer and

00:52:23.620 you want to

00:52:24.000 be able to

00:52:24.400 defend your

00:52:25.240 position and

00:52:26.060 to defend the

00:52:26.800 culture of

00:52:27.200 life that we're

00:52:27.660 trying to build

00:52:28.220 here in America,

00:52:29.160 then you need

00:52:30.140 to have this

00:52:30.740 book in your

00:52:31.240 library.

00:52:32.380 And since it's

00:52:33.040 released, lots

00:52:33.760 of people have

00:52:34.160 gotten the

00:52:34.500 book.

00:52:34.700 It's been a

00:52:35.180 number one

00:52:35.580 Amazon new

00:52:36.160 release and a

00:52:36.680 number two

00:52:36.940 Amazon bestseller.

00:52:37.980 The book is

00:52:38.300 very easy to

00:52:39.060 use.

00:52:39.340 It tells you

00:52:39.740 what to say,

00:52:40.300 what not to

00:52:40.700 say, and the

00:52:41.580 proven arguments

00:52:42.220 that have worked

00:53:42.380 Now let's get

00:53:42.940 to our daily

00:53:43.320 cancellation.

00:53:48.900 Huma Abedin is

00:53:50.360 one of those

00:53:50.980 people whose

00:53:51.580 names you might

00:53:52.880 know if you pay

00:53:54.080 attention to the

00:53:54.640 news, though it's

00:53:55.340 not entirely clear

00:53:56.180 why you know it or

00:53:57.360 why you should know

00:53:58.100 it.

00:53:58.680 She's not a public

00:53:59.300 figure of any

00:53:59.860 importance, she's

00:54:00.680 not a politician,

00:54:02.120 so she's got that

00:54:03.100 going for her at

00:54:03.660 least, but she is a

00:54:04.300 creature of

00:54:04.700 Washington, D.C.,

00:54:05.460 a former staffer

00:54:06.220 to Hillary Clinton,

00:54:07.200 estranged wife of

00:54:08.160 creepy sex pest

00:54:08.980 Anthony Weiner, and

00:54:10.480 now she's written a

00:54:11.180 book, and the

00:54:12.080 book is called

00:54:12.580 Both and, A

00:54:13.800 Life in Many

00:54:14.480 Words, and it

00:54:15.580 promises, based on

00:54:16.400 the title, to use a

00:54:17.320 lot of words to tell

00:54:18.240 you about her life,

00:54:19.400 whether or not the

00:54:20.100 subject is really

00:54:20.660 worth all of those

00:54:21.400 words in the first

00:54:22.240 place.

00:54:23.120 And here's a tip for

00:54:24.000 any memoirists of

00:54:24.880 the future.

00:54:25.980 If the headline of

00:54:26.840 your memoir is that

00:54:28.260 you use a lot of

00:54:29.140 words in it, probably

00:54:31.820 a good indication that

00:54:32.660 you shouldn't be

00:54:33.080 writing a memoir in

00:54:33.820 the first place.

00:54:35.420 Though in Huma's

00:54:36.020 case, she does have

00:54:37.000 another headline.

00:54:37.980 It's a headline that

00:54:38.640 has made lots of

00:54:39.380 headlines over the

00:54:39.980 past day or two.

00:54:40.900 Huma claims, and

00:54:41.860 she has all of this

00:54:42.500 in her book, and

00:54:43.500 you can read the

00:54:43.940 whole story for the

00:54:44.600 low price of $24.99,

00:54:46.260 she claims that she

00:54:47.040 was sexually assaulted

00:54:47.920 by a United States

00:54:48.860 senator 15 years ago.

00:54:51.480 Now, she's not going

00:54:52.060 to say the senator's

00:54:52.800 name, or what state

00:54:54.020 he represents, or even

00:54:55.660 if he's still in

00:54:56.180 Congress.

00:54:57.380 She says that she

00:54:58.640 didn't even remember

00:54:59.320 the incident until the

00:55:00.180 Kavanaugh hearings jogged

00:55:01.280 her memory and brought

00:55:02.180 this buried trauma back

00:55:03.420 to the surface, and

00:55:04.580 that's how you know

00:55:05.000 that it's a very

00:55:05.440 serious and truthful

00:55:06.280 tale.

00:55:06.580 She forgot about it

00:55:07.900 for a decade, she

00:55:09.240 waited to tell it

00:55:09.960 publicly until she had

00:55:10.800 a book to sell, and

00:55:12.360 she won't name the

00:55:13.160 supposed sexual

00:55:13.940 assaulter who's still

00:55:15.000 prowling the streets,

00:55:16.020 perhaps the halls of

00:55:16.720 Congress even.

00:55:17.920 Nothing unique about

00:55:18.580 that, I suppose.

00:55:20.100 But let's not dismiss

00:55:20.960 Huma's assault claim

00:55:21.860 based on its total

00:55:22.680 lack of credibility.

00:55:24.420 Let's also dismiss it

00:55:25.640 because the assault

00:55:26.400 claim is not really an

00:55:28.000 assault claim.

00:55:29.200 Here's the Daily Beast

00:55:30.100 describing this traumatic

00:55:31.600 ordeal.

00:55:32.200 It says, according to

00:55:33.980 Abedin's account, she

00:55:35.120 and the senator met at

00:55:36.040 a dinner attended by

00:55:36.880 several other lawmakers

00:55:37.740 and their aides in

00:55:38.480 Washington, D.C., though

00:55:39.860 not Clinton, who was

00:55:40.740 New York's senator and

00:55:41.560 Abedin's boss from 2001

00:55:42.740 until 2009.

00:55:44.420 Following the meal,

00:55:45.280 Abedin took a walk with

00:55:46.120 the senator who invited

00:55:46.860 her into his apartment

00:55:47.740 for coffee, and she

00:55:49.580 wrote, told me to make

00:55:50.760 myself comfortable on

00:55:51.640 the couch.

00:55:52.700 Then in an instant, it

00:55:53.940 all changed.

00:55:55.080 He plopped down to my

00:55:55.860 right, put his left arm

00:55:57.080 around my shoulder, and

00:55:58.320 kissed me, pushing his

00:55:59.420 tongue into my mouth and

00:56:00.240 pressing me back on the

00:56:01.020 sofa, she writes.

00:56:02.460 Abedin, who said that

00:56:03.240 she was so utterly

00:56:04.200 shocked, pushed the

00:56:05.680 senator away.

00:56:06.840 Her resistance surprised

00:56:07.800 him, and he apologized,

00:56:09.320 saying he had misread the

00:56:10.420 situation and wanted to

00:56:11.540 make up for it without

00:56:13.080 this ending badly, she

00:56:14.180 said.

00:56:14.900 Abedin wrote, then I

00:56:16.180 said something that only

00:56:16.920 the 20-something version

00:56:17.900 of me would have come up

00:56:18.800 with.

00:56:19.160 I am so sorry, and walked

00:56:20.920 out trying to appear as

00:56:21.900 nonchalant as possible.

00:56:23.360 A few days later, the two

00:56:24.240 ran into one another on

00:56:25.620 Capitol Hill, and the

00:56:26.860 senator asked if they

00:56:27.640 could still be friends.

00:56:30.000 The end.

00:56:32.200 Now, listening to this

00:56:33.140 account of rape, you

00:56:34.920 might be wondering when

00:56:35.800 the rape happens.

00:56:36.980 It doesn't.

00:56:38.140 There was no rape, no

00:56:39.140 assault.

00:56:40.180 If this event occurred at

00:56:41.400 all, there's nothing much

00:56:42.480 to report about it, which is

00:56:44.300 why she didn't report it to

00:56:45.360 the police or anybody else

00:56:46.300 until it was time to hawk

00:56:47.180 her memoir.

00:56:48.240 What she describes here is

00:56:49.520 something that, in more

00:56:50.500 normal times, used to be

00:56:52.560 called making a move.

00:56:54.800 The man kissed her,

00:56:56.020 attempting to initiate

00:56:56.800 physical intimacy.

00:56:58.080 She rebuffed him.

00:56:59.640 He stopped immediately

00:57:00.520 and apologized.

00:57:02.440 This is what we used to

00:57:03.420 call getting rejected.

00:57:05.460 It all adds up to nothing

00:57:06.580 more than an awkward story

00:57:07.800 for the woman to tell,

00:57:08.680 maybe even the man, later

00:57:09.580 in life when the

00:57:10.140 embarrassment is worn off.

00:57:11.900 Only in the age of Me Too

00:57:13.120 has normal heterosexual

00:57:14.540 male behavior and normal,

00:57:16.700 if uncomfortable,

00:57:17.500 interactions between males

00:57:18.560 and females become a

00:57:19.720 human rights violation.

00:57:21.980 Now, could there be a

00:57:23.560 scenario where a man

00:57:24.720 kissing a woman might

00:57:25.800 qualify as real assault,

00:57:27.320 certainly?

00:57:28.320 If he had run up to her

00:57:29.220 on the street, unannounced,

00:57:31.180 a stranger, planted his

00:57:32.980 lips against her lips,

00:57:33.960 we would categorize that

00:57:35.020 as violent and a criminal

00:57:35.880 act.

00:57:37.320 But this was not on the

00:57:38.320 street.

00:57:39.240 And it was not really

00:57:40.220 unannounced.

00:57:41.600 She went out to eat with

00:57:42.540 him, came back to his

00:57:44.040 apartment for coffee,

00:57:45.920 quote unquote.

00:57:47.820 Human beings aren't

00:57:48.940 automatons.

00:57:50.160 At least we shouldn't be.

00:57:51.080 We speak to each other

00:57:52.220 not only using words,

00:57:53.480 but also through signals,

00:57:55.680 facial expressions,

00:57:56.440 body language,

00:57:57.780 behavioral cues.

00:57:59.420 A woman going up to a

00:58:00.660 man's apartment,

00:58:01.620 accepting his invitation

00:58:02.480 for coffee after a dinner

00:58:04.660 date, is a behavioral cue.

00:58:07.700 The Me Too crusaders would

00:58:08.980 have the man ignore the

00:58:10.000 behavioral cues and

00:58:11.180 verbalize everything like

00:58:12.280 some kind of robot.

00:58:13.300 Excuse me, human female,

00:58:14.380 you have accepted an

00:58:15.040 invitation to return to my

00:58:16.240 apartment.

00:58:17.180 Does this mean that you

00:58:17.900 are open to romantic

00:58:18.620 physical contact?

00:58:19.720 Please answer yes, no,

00:58:20.740 or undecided.

00:58:22.240 Of course, I'm way off base

00:58:23.460 here because even that

00:58:24.540 wouldn't be good enough

00:58:25.320 according to the new rules.

00:58:27.260 We're told that consent

00:58:28.220 must be affirmative,

00:58:29.240 verbal, and continual,

00:58:30.680 which means that just one

00:58:32.380 confirmation isn't enough.

00:58:33.540 The man would have to

00:58:34.280 issue this disclaimer

00:58:35.200 repeatedly throughout the

00:58:36.560 night as things progress.

00:58:39.200 The problem is that humans

00:58:41.500 don't operate this way.

00:58:43.480 And despite the

00:58:44.380 protestations of feminists,

00:58:45.960 most women don't want men

00:58:47.340 to operate this way.

00:58:48.260 So the standard here is

00:58:50.480 that men are being told

00:58:51.480 to act in a way that no

00:58:53.200 human actually acts and

00:58:55.640 which is sure to alienate

00:58:56.700 any real woman in real

00:58:58.100 life.

00:58:59.140 And if they don't,

00:58:59.980 they'll be called a

00:59:00.380 rapist.

00:59:01.820 Meanwhile, actual rapists

00:59:03.160 exist in this world and

00:59:04.720 actual rape victims, but

00:59:06.940 they are ever overshadowed

00:59:08.100 by attention-starved

00:59:08.960 opportunists like Huma.

00:59:09.920 Speaking of actual

00:59:10.540 rapists, they've got a lot

00:59:12.000 of them in the public

00:59:12.500 school system.

00:59:13.420 One of them raped a

00:59:14.320 young girl in a bathroom

00:59:15.100 in Loudoun County.

00:59:15.920 And that story, the one

00:59:16.980 about real violent rape of

00:59:18.100 a child in a school, has

00:59:19.620 already received less

00:59:20.480 attention from the

00:59:21.200 corporate press than Huma

00:59:22.540 Aberdeen getting kissed

00:59:23.540 by a guy while sitting on

00:59:25.260 his couch in his

00:59:25.800 apartment.

00:59:27.720 Putting everything else

00:59:28.640 aside, I think that's

00:59:30.300 reason enough to say to

00:59:31.340 Huma today that you are

00:59:33.020 certainly canceled.

00:59:35.960 And that'll do it for us

00:59:37.380 today.

00:59:37.760 Thanks for watching.

00:59:38.340 Thanks for listening.

00:59:39.380 Have a great day.

00:59:40.040 Godspeed.
